INNOCENT people are not subjected to police 'sting' operations to catch illegal diamond buyers, according to Namibian police spokesperson, Sean Geyser.

Following allegations on NBC's chat show yesterday morning that the police's diamond branch sometimes tries to entice innocent people into buying stolen dia­monds, Geyser made it clear to The Namibian that the police only mount such operations when there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is involved in diamond dealing.

The talk show accusations were sparked by Sunday's slaying of two top policemen and Connie ' Babatjie' Campbell in a 'sting' that went wrong.

Geyser said yesterday that 'a sworn afTadavit contain~ ing reason~ble grounds for suspicion has to be made before any 'police action' to ensnare illegal diamond dealers is undertaken.

He said that workers were powerless and charged tha~ nothing was being done to enforce the mine notice.

Gerhard claimed that the treatment of sick workers was not taken seriously by the supervi~ors who were supposed to look after their teams.

He cited a case when a worker got siclc underground but the supervisor refused

to allow him to be taken to the cIinlc, apparently one­and-a-halfkilometres away. Another worker eventually took the man to Katutura hospital and had to undergo an operation.

By the time of going to . press, Standish-White could not be reached for comment on whether any disciplinary steps could be applied.

Soon after the August 21 meeting when Foreign Min­isters Theo-Ben Gurirab and Roelof 'Pik' Botha reached the historic agreement, dif­ferences appeared in the two sides ' views of joint rule:

Gurirab said it was merely a transitional step towards transferring sovereignty. He added the JAA should have as wide a scope as possible.

But Botha, speaking at Walvis Bay, said key areas including police, citizenship, defence, education and other spheres would not be included. Other South African sources

operation. Geyser added that the ille­

gal diamond trade is mostly controlled by syndicates and that the police "had better things to do than run around after innocent people".

He said if a ' police action' was later found to have been launched against an innocent . person it would probably be due to, faulty evidence from , an informer.

" Geyser also dismissed the idea that the value of dia­monds seized by the police was used to fund the Dia­mond Branch, saying that any monies from successful ac­tions went straight into state coffers and not to the police.

Earlier this year head of the

Diamond Branch, Inspector Hennie Brink, described to The Namibian the process through which police 'stings' are mounted. After an infonner has made a sworn statement about someone possessing, . wanting to buy or wanting to sell diamonds an undercover police investigator will visit the suspect with the infotmer. After the visit a second sworn statement will be completed, Then a decision will be made as to whether to warn a sus­pect or mount a fullscale operation. Several more meetings with a suspect may be set up before a 'police action' goes into full swing. During the preparatory meet­ings the police officer(s) would explore possible risks includ­ing such things as where the dealer kept his gun. '

During the final ' sting' other police officers would be sta­tioned nearby ready to move in at a pre-arranged signal as a deal is completed.

The fact that no other po­lice officers appeared to be in the area last Sunday may indicate that the fatal opera­tion that Inspector Shilom­boleni and Warrant Officer Swartbooi were involved in with Campbell was not the final entrapment but a meet­ing arrangeg to .gat1!er_more evidence.

Union takes strike UPDATE Toxic fish

.~

TYAPPA NAMUTEWA breakers to task-- BONN: The Kara Sea, in the Arctic Ocean off Rus­sia's northern coast, has become the biggest nucl~ar dumping site in the wortd, according to a Gennan pre~ report. Some 17 000 con­tainers of nuclear waste and 15 nuclear submarines lie at the bottQm of the Kara" Sea, close to the is­land of Novaya Zemlya, the Frankfurter Allgemeine 'Sonntagszeitung reported, qu(Jting the ecological group Greenpeace. "The radioactivity could arrive on your table !it any time, in the fonri of contami­nated fish," a Greenpeace expert told the newspaper.

Magistrate Rina Horn was called to the witness stand in the case in which Ber­nardo Hangula is accused of having shot and killed Rogerio Jesus Pereira at Suiderhof on January 29 this year.

Hangula also allegedly stole money, jewellery and other valuable items.

Hangula, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, blamed the man he was with on the night.

Earlier Hangula told the court he had been misquoted during proceedings in the Magistrates Court earlier this year when he pleaded guilty : to all the charges.

A QUARREL over bedding ended in death for one man and six years in jail for the other.

The Windhoek High Court yesterday found Amiule Elifas, 20, guilty of murder and sentenced him to nine years in prison for knifing Haufiku Sangola to death,

On Tuesday Elias told Judge Pio Teek that he had only wanted to scare Shangola when he stabbed him to death on February 14 this year.

The incident took place at the Herma Brothers camp at Brakwater just outside Windhoek.

By late yesterday after­noon it was difficult to get any real clarity on whether a union can in fact compel members to participate in a strike.

According to "one legal source, the situation is very ' ambivalent ~d the answer ' can 'be both yes and no depending on t?e circum-, stances. -,

A person could not le­gally be forced to join a strike because of the provi­sion on freedom of associa­tion in the Namibian constitution.

:Swanu in' urgent polt plea . '

ONLY days before regis­tration for the regional and local elections is scheduled to end, Swanu of Namibia has made a strong call for the process to be extended for another 10 to 14 days.

This appeal was made in an urgent letter from Swanu presi­dent Vekuui Rukoro to chair­man of the Electoral Commis­sion Justice John Strydom.

Rukoro said that while trav­elling through the ' regions of Omaheke, Caprivi, Okavango and Erongo he became aware

Spot checks

joy-r iders

of the extremely cumbersome registration process in these regions.

Further, another Swanu of­fiei'a:l yesterday reported that regist~tion had stopped in the Epukiro constituency as offi­cials had run out of registra­tion fonns.

Rukoro especially singled out "the inefficient operation of mobile registration units in communal areas as a factor holding up the registration of voters.

Swanu's projections sug­gested that up to 30 per cent of

eligible voters might not be able to vote in the regional elections unless there was an extension of the election pe­riod. This figure was also sup­ported by the Elections Direc­torate's own projections.

Because of election admini­stration "inefficiency and"other logistical problems", people who qualified to register for the regional elections might now not be able to vote, he said.

To add to the problem, the percentage of disenfranchise­ment in the case of local gov-

ernment elections was likely to be even higher. "

Rukoro criticised the failure ofthe Government to enthusi­astically involve traditional leaders in the election process at an earlier stage. This had resulted in them, and their fol­lowers, not appreciating the nature and importance of the elections until the last miriute.

Swanu felt that anyone who was denied the opportunity to vote because of " inefficient administration was being robbed of their constitutional " entitlement.·

STRICT " measures to clamp down on the " abuse of government vehicles have been

announced, including police spot checks on GRN cars.

Acknowledging that abuse of government­owned vehicles is still rife, despite detailed instructions to employees last year, the Ministry said the new measures would take immediate effect and would be followed by 'crlminal prosecution of offenders. ''No admission " of guilt will be payable, as all cases shall be forwarded to the Prosecutor Generat" The only exceptions will be Min­isters, deputy ministers"the Director-Gen­eralof the National Planning Commission and the Attorney-General, since "special arrangements (will be) accorded to, them" .

According to the Ministry of Home Af­fairs, the police have been instructed to impound any GRN vehicle driven without an authorised logsheet.

Even if the driver can present the neces­sary logsheet, the vehicle may still be im­pounded irthe tramc police have ''reason to believe that the trip is invalid and unom­cial".

decided that he, or she, was no longer able to adhere to the rules of the organisation " all they could do was to resign, the le gal expert said " MUN based its threat of disciplinary action on ClaQses 6.15 and 24.1 of the unions constitution:

On the surface, neither of these clearly stipulates that a m~mber has ~o particip.at~ in a strike.

MUN further ac.cused th<? non-strikers of having vio-' lated its Recognition and Pro.cedural Agreement with CDM, and the provisions of the Wage and Industrial Conciliation Ordinance of , 1952.

It was yesterday impos­sible to confirm with either CDM, or the Ministry of Labour and Manpower, whether these two docu­ments could in fact require a union member to join a

Elephant tra~king for Caprivi TEN elephants in the eastern Kavango and Caprivi will soon be fitted with satellite collars to discover more about their habits, their movements and what brings them into conflict with local communities.

1he collars will be fitted early .in November and will be monitored for about three years in a project fwided by the EEC. It was initiated following a meeting between conservation­ists, sociologists, community members and the Ministry of

Wildlife, Conservation and ToUrism in the eastern Caprivi.

The elephants, which are thought to move between Namibia, Botswana, Angola and Zambia, usually arrive in the Caprivi by July, moving off again when the first rains fall. However, according to the Ministry. migration patterns . already seem to have changed this year, probably due to the drought.

While local communities do not want to see the elephants

,

disappear altogether. they are finding the animals difficult to live with. -

Apparently there are a num­ber of known 'problem ele­phants' which regularly deci­mate mahangu fields and mow their way through kraals.

Neverthless, local people are aware of the positive side of having elephants in their area . Increased tourism and trophy hunting are just two bypro­ducts which can bring income into the area.

WASHINGTON: Bumper­stickers as sign of who you

. support in the US election are going the way of the d040 bird ... headed for extinction.

Sticky issue for US v:oters , expert on a related topic -lawn signs.

Sigelman said Americans are usually reluctant to clut­ter up their bumpers but do it if they strongly support a candidate. He attributed the decline in the number of bumpers tickers to "dimin­ished public enthusiasm for the candidates."

Twenty years ago, a po­litical campaign meant half

the cars parked up and down any city street had the name of their owners ' preferred

candidate, or candidates, afftxed to their chrome posteriors. But no more.

"The disappearance of bumperstickers is a sign of less personal commitment and participation" by the average American voter, said Keith Melder, a curator in the political history depart­ment of the Smithsonian National Museum of Ameri­can History here.

The ftrs t political sticker glued to a bumper was dur­ing the 1944 election op­posing Franklin Roosevelt and Thomas Dewey. They steadily grew in popularity . until their heyday in the 1960s, when, analysts say, political campaigns began to lose contact with the grassroots.

In general, elections have changed in the past 30 years. They are no longer run through a series of interper­sonal relationships, from the national campaign to state

parties to precinct captains who organize local politi­cal meetings and rallies, where bumperstickers would be handed out.

Television and mass mail­ings have replaced personal contact. This, in turn, may have contributed to a -de­cline in voter participation. "Television makes people into spectators," said Melder, noting that 80 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in 1896, compared with the 50 percent turnout common now.

''The candidates have such high negatives that people don't want to put (their names) on their bumper. Support for (Bill) Clinton is a mile wide and an inch deep," said Lee Sigelman, head of the political science department at George Wash­ington University and an

In a random survey in downtown Washington, most people said they would never slap a bumpersticker on their automobile. "I have a nice looking car.

I don't want to wreck the aesthetic value of the car," said John Haines, who admitted to slathering a ja­lopy with bumpers tickers in 1967.

Others derided them as "tacky," "trashy" and "clut-ter." .

Another think: tank heavy­weight, Norm Orenstein of the American Enterprise Insititute, has an easier the­ory. "They ' re impossible to get off the damn cars."

INTERNATIONAL WRAP-UP

Amnesty law presses on CAPE TOWN: Any Government or CCB agents who wanted indemnity would have to follow exactly ·the same procedure as everyone else, SA President, FW de Klerk said last night.

De Klerk was announcing that his government had decided to press ahead with its controversial indemnity legislation. The Bill will be referred to the President's Council. After a five ho.ur debate yesterday the bill was defeated in the House of Delegates and approved in the other two houses. As a result De Klerk had to decide whether to drop the bill or take it to the President' s Council.

Poet murdered in Huambo LUANDA: Leading Angolan poet and scientist Fernando Marcelino was shot to death by unknown assailants in the central Angola city of Hu ambo , police said yesterday.

Marcelino's wife and sister were also killed in the Tuesday night attack. Family friend ·Zaida Daskalos, one of the coun­try's best-known writer of children's books, was seriously wounded. He campaigned for the ruling MPLA party which won Angola's first multiparty elections last month.

Coal closure brings protests LONDON: Thousands of coal miners and supporters con- . verged on Hyde Park in central London yesterday in a massive protest against the government' s plan to close down Britain~ s coal mines. Miners, along with relatives and children who had

. come in from all over Britain, were joined by thousands of Londoners iin the capital' s biggest park where they unfurled banners stating, "Drop Major, not the miners."

The protest took place as parliament prepared for a critical Labour opposition motion condemning the government pro­posal to close mines. In its initial announcement last week, the Conservative government said 31 pits would be shut down over five months and 30 000 miners sacked. But it backed down under the outcry, submitting a new proposal to shut down

. 10 coal mines and possibly phase out the other 21.

Zim"pulls out of Mozambique HARARE: Zimbabwe yesterday began withdrawing its esti­mated 5 000 troops stationed inside Mozambique in compli­ance with the ceasefire agreement that came into effect last week after 17 years of civil war. .

Minister of Defence Moven Mahachi said in a statement in Harare the withdrawal was expected to be complete in a month's time. The withdrawal comes amid growing concern over the fate of the ceasefire, in the wake of reports of an apparent campaign by the rebel Renamo movement to seize towns in the northern provinces of Zambezi a and Nampula.

Cops 'involved' in massacre VEREENIGING: Two witnesses, including an SA Police special constable, told the Goldstone Commission on Tuesday how they had seen police Casspirs assisting attackers during the June 17 Boipatong massacre.

In -fighting stops aid MOGADISHU: Mogadishu's main airport, used to ferry food and medicine to Somalia's hungry, was shut yesterday after repeated confrontations with gunmen demanding payment for . allowing relief flights to land. The airport was to remain closed for at least two days, according to a UN Military officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Banditry, looting and clan warfare have severely disrupted international efforts to feed the starving in Somalia where more than 100 000 already have died and·another 2 million face the imminent risk of starvation.

Hong Kong deadlock BEIJING: Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten said he and a top Chinese official made no progress on Tuesday toward reach­ing agreement on his plan to increase democracy in the territory before it reverts to China in 1997.

That means the two sides are likely to continue long­distance, public sparring that ultimately could undermine the territory's fragile confidence and shake its markets.

MIA info promised WASHINGTON: An official US delegation returned from Vi­etnam late on Tuesday with what it said were "very important" documents on American servicemen who were unaccounted for during the Vietnam War

"I believe we have brought home very important documen­tation which will go a long way in resolving many cases that are still listed as trussing in action," Senator John McCain said.

The Washington Post said on Tuesday that the delegation had discovered a secret cache of 4,000 photographs of the remains of Americans who died in combat or captivity.

e etrigge , Journalist claims he was told names of Webster 's killers

JOHANNESBURG: Ajournalist with the Conservative Party newspaper in South Africa yesterday told the David Webster mquest that CCB commander Staal Burger told him that CCB operatives Chappie Maree, Callie Botha and Ferdie Barnard were the murderers of the anti-ap a rtheid activist.

. Johan Gagiano of the Die Patriot newspaper also gave evidence that Burger told him that Chappie Maree and Donald Acheson were possi-

/ bly responsible for the mur­der of Swapo executive member Anton Lubowski in Wmdhoek in September 1989. This was the result of a CCB order, said Gagiano.

Gagiano told the Rand Supreme Court that Burger, the head of the CCB' s Re­gion Six, was a reliable source who had given him accurate information over 12 years. His information had never been

wrong, said Gagiano. Col Burger told him in January 1990 that the police would never find the killers of the University of the Witwa­tersrand anthropology lecturer who was shot outside his Troyeville home .on May I, 1989.

1'He also told me Or David Webster was killed by three CCB members, namely Calla .Botha and Ferdie Bamard, who sat in the front of the car ... and Chappie Maree, who sat at the left rear of the car and fired the fatal shot," Gagiano said.

He said according to Col Burger, the three men had orders to kill Or Webster, but he had refused to say from whom the instruction came. Gagiano said.he was told the killers used a standard issue police shotgun with shells that were also standard issue to policemen.

"There was also no doubt that he (Col Burger) was involved in the preparation for the attack on Or Webster: because h is line function was above that of the CCB mem­bers involved," Gagiano said.

Earlier, Gagiano said that in an interview with Burger . published in Die Patriot the colonel complained the SADF and the government had " thrown his organisation to the wolves".

LUSAKA: Prominent political activist Orton Chirwa died in prison on Tuesday and Malawi authorities have arrested 13 other opponents, an opposition spokesman said by telephone from BIantyre yesterday.

Harry Chiume of the main opposition Alliance for De­mocracy (Aford) told AFP that he had learned of the death from an anonymous caller at . Blantyre hospital and con­fIrmed it, but the government had imposed a blackout on the news.

In the three days since Life President Kamuzu Banda announced he was ready to hold a referendum on intro­ducing mUlti-party politics, security forces had arrested 13 Aford members, Chiume added.

"It is sad that the govem­!rent has deliberately not made any announcement and apart from the few of us and proba­bly those who listen to the

' BBC, the majority of . Malawians are not aware that Mr Chirwa is dead," he said.

"We do not know how people will react when we spread the news but the gov­ernment is defmitely under­playing it." Aford had already begun arranging to !reet prison authorities to have the body released for a "decent bur­ial," Chiume said.

"We want to tell authori­ties that despite Mr. Chirwa' s political status, this will not be a political funer 1. He do~s not deserve to be buried as a prisoner and the least govern­ment can do is to give him this respect."

Chirwa, who was in his 70s, and his wife Vera were serv-

ing life sentences for their opposition to the autocratic rule of the self-declared life president, who has held power since British rule ended in 1964.

Both founder members of Banda's Malawi Congress Party who went into dissi­dence, they were abducted from Zambia in 1981 and sentenced to death by a spe­cial tribunal. International uproar led to the commuta-

. tion of the sentences to life imprisonment.

The circumstances· of Chirwa's death are not yet known, but Aford, led by trade unionist Ch akufw a "Chihana, who is on trial for sedition, has demanded an immediate explanation from the govern­ment, which it held "fully responsible" in a statement issued here.

Green troubles FRANKFURT: Petra Kelly, who took her p ro­test against nuclear weap­on s message around ~he world, m irrored the r ise and fal l of Germany's Greens P a rty more than any other left ist p olitician in Germany.

Police said on Tuesday that Kelly, 44, had been shot in the head by long-time lover Gert Bastian, a 69-year-old former general-turned-pacifist, who then shot himself. Their bod­ies were discovered "late on Monday in their home iD. Bonn.

Kelly changed the l!U1dscape .of German politics when she became one of the co-founders of the Greens Party in 1979, after quitting the Social Demo­cratic party over its acceptance of US mi ssile deployment.

The frail-looking, short­haired Kclly symbolized a new generation of Gemlan politi­cians, who rose from the stu­dent movement to shake the establishment with their looks and new ideas. _

From a fringe leftist, ecol­ogy-minded group espou ~ing

anti-NATO views, tlJe Greens became a po litica,l force when they entered the German par­liament in the March 1983 election, with Kelly 'holding a seat in the Bundestag .

In the early 1980s, Kelly, along with Bastian, became a familiar figure at the huge ral­lies against the deployment of nuclear Pershing 2 missiles in Germany.

Oskar Lafontaine, a leading Social Democrat, said on Tues­day after leaming of the deaths:

. "We were active for the same goals: against more weapons and for the peace, against nu­clear power plants and for the protection of environment."

Kelly herself became a vic­tim of the self-imposed uncon­ventional Greens political rules and the deepening rifts in the party. She failed to get on the party ticket in the 1990 federal election and saw the Greens from western Germany knocked out of the parliament. Since then, Kelly and Bastian had lived in virtual political seclu­sion.

Chirwa was recently re­ported to have gone blind because authorities had re­fused to allow him a cataract operation.

A team of Blitish lawyers allowed to visit the couple last September heard how they had been held in leg-irons in

. solitary confinement and underfed.

Thirteen members of Aford, meanwhile, have been arrested in t1le northern towns of Chi­tipa and Mzuzu in the last three days, Chiume disclosed All were still in custody.

Banda bowed to growing international pressure over righls on Sunday, but ~aid he expected voters to I!ndorse Single-party rull!.

Here Is how major stock mar­kets oublde the United States ended yester day:

W NDON - Shares raced ahead to a s1wPly higher close after interest rate cuts across Europe prompted further specu­lation of a cut soon in: British rates. The FrSE 100 index closed 28.7 points higher at 2645.7, adding to Tuesday's 55 . point gain. Earlier on Wednesday the index had reached 2,660.8 before mild profit-taking emerged.

FRANKFURT-Amoderate . cut in a key German money market rate proved too small to fuel hopes of 11. near-term cut in leading interest rates, and market participants be~eved the recent bear market rally had now reached an abrupt end.

The 30-share DAX index en~d 7.65 points lower at 1,503.90, chipping away at strong gains earlier this week.

PARIS - Elation over pros­pects oflower German interest rates gave way to the cold reality of mediocre corporate earn­ings, triggering aroond of profit­taking that took French share prices lower. The CAC-40 in­dex, which extended Thesday's stunning gain in early trade, turned tail in the morning and ended down ~.02 points, or 0.52 per cent, at 1,722.24.

ZURICa - Swiss shares fin­ished weaker after a moder­ately active session, with profit­taking in all sectors except insurances. The broad SP! in­dex shed 5:7 points to 1,152.4 and the SMI index of leading shares fell 15.1 to 1,907.5.

HONGKONG-Alateflood of unidentified buying lifted Hong Kong 's Hang Seng to a record high, sparking specula­tion positive news for the col­ony ' s airport project may be around the" corner. ~ index leapt 112.34 points,

or 1.85 per cent, to a record 6,200.85. The sudden wave of demand came after an unevent­fulmorningoflightprofit-tak­ing as many investors were sidelined before the outcome of Governor am, Patten's visit to Beijing.

SYDNEY - Positive news from oversea~, a lack of sellers and good value in underpnced stocks c'ombmed to boost the sharemarket, which closed at the day's highs.

Rumpf se die olifante kom tradisioneel teen Julie in die oostelike Kavango en die Caprivi aan en trek met die

eerste reens weer verder. Vaqjaar is lrul, moootlik vanwee die droogte, so vroeg as Maart reeds in die gebied opgemerk.

Olifante is bekend vir die skade wat hul aan mahango­lande en tuine in die gebied aanrig en is daarom nie gewild by sommige gemeenskappein die gebied nie.

Daar is tussen vyfduisend en seweduisend olifante in Namibieterwyl'ngrootaantal jaarliks deur die Caprivi trek.

In die meeste gevatle is dit onbekend waarvandaan hier­die diere mm en waarlleen lrulle trek en die monitering per sate­liet en van die grond sal hul in staat stel om die inligting te bekom, se Rumpf.

This was announced at a Press conference yesterday by Safa secretary-general Solomon "Stix" Morewa, after an emergency meet­ing by the Safa national executive.

Morewa said the reaction to the incident in which Tsh­abalala smacked Lerman twice and swore abuse at Cooper had been bad and prompted Safa to take swift action.

IT IS still uncertain whether Namibia Will field the same team that faced Madagas­car in the World Cup quali­fiers match when the Brave Warriors meet Zambia on Sunday.

N MI lA VS ZAMBIA SUNDAY 251->10/92

NAMIBIA FOOT~All. ASSOCIATION

. Come all Namibians, land of the brave, and support our Nation

CONRAD ANGULA

Team manager Eliphas Shipanga told sports report­ers during a news briefing last Friday that the techni­cal committee wanted to to field the same team that played Madagascar.

"It would be good to start with the same line-up that did duty against Madagas­car as they will be in the right frame of mind for the Zambians.

"They received a real baptis)l1 of fire in Antan­anarivo and iUs in our own interest to play with the same team, especially as they gained some experience in our first international," said Shipanga responding to a question from one of the reporters.

It is, however, still uncer­tain whether three players, captain David 'Fellah' Snewe (striker), defender Hellao Naruseb (both Liv­erpool) and Black Africa's targetman Smithley 'Chack­las' Engelbrecht, will play this weekend.

The trio, students at the University·of Nantibia, have apparently asked to be ex­cused from the training camp as they are studying for their final examinations.

It was still not clear at the time of going to press whether replacements will be made for these players as it will be really difficult for the three-some to study and prepare themselves for Sunday's crucial intema­. tional.

The players, especially Snewe, are key members of the squad and their absence would certainly weaken the side, which is already lack­ing strength in midfield.

The return of the Chief Santos duo Gerros and Marcellus Witbeen - despite criticism from some quar­ters - who are both original members of the national squaq, has come at the right moment.

Marcellus did more then enough to convince the national selectors during

Namibia's international friendly against Lesotho in Maseru. Whilst Gerros, the dread of local goalkeepers, is only the second Namib­ian to score for Namibia on international level.

Last weekend saw the bow-legged Santos striker at his very best as he single­handedly helped his team to a 4-2 quarter-final win over Robber Chanties in their Metropolitan Cup tie .

* Meanwhile, star goal­keeper Sparks Gottlieb, yesterday accused the NFA of not giving serious atten­tion to matters concerning the national team.

"The NFA must give bet­ter attention to football matters. Gerros and Mar­cellus should not have been recalled to the team in the first place. They are not loyal to the nation because they did not want to travel with the team to Madagascar. Why should they be allowed to play against Zarn.bia," the experienced Eleven Arrows goalkeeper argued.

US faces tougb Davis draw LONDON: One step away from winning the 1992 Davis Cup, the United States got the 1993 draw it didn 't want on Tuesday. A first round trip to Australia.

Bristling that the Ameri­cans chose a super-slow clay court when the two coun­tries last met in the 1990 final at St Petersburg, Fla. , the Australians will be out ' for revenge. Right now they will be looking for the fast­est grass court they can fmd for the March 26-28 clash.

"This was just the draw we didn't want," United

States Tennis Association president Bob Cookson said ''I'm sure the Australians will be out for revenge.

"But at least we have players who can play on any surface," Cookson said "Just look at the rankings and see what players we've got to

. choose from." . Australia hosts the World Group match because the Americans were at home the last time they played. Aus­tralian team manager Neale Fraserwas furious when the United States chose to play on a soft clay court at St

Petersburg and triumphed with baseliners Andre Aga-ssi and Michael Chang on the

. team. Agassi ' s triumph at

Wimbledon this year proved, however, he also can play on grass.

In this year's final at Fort Worth, Texas, in Decem­ber, the United States faces Switzerland. Tuesday's draw saw Russia appear for the first time instead of the Soviet Union or CIS. It will host a ftrst round W orId
